HAVE MANY HOMES.

KING AND OUEEN OF ITALY ARE RICH. The Only Trouble They Have I In Trying to (Jet ICid of the Hundred of Kstate That .live Fallen to Tneir Lot --Summer iu Koine. (Rome Letter.) U HE royal family of Italy has inherited over the various sections of the peninsula, more castles, palace.-, villas, hunting and fishing grounds, forests and lakes, mountains and islands from the dynasties which once ruled than they can possibly enjoy, or take care of. Besides the old paternal estates in Savoy and Piedmont, such as Knutecombe, Valdleri, Racconigi.Agiie. of the Gran Paradiao, which soars to the height of thirteen thousand feet, and covers one hundred square miles, there are the ducal palaces in Genoa, Parma. Modena and Venice, the exImperial palace in Milan, the park and castle of Monza. S. Michcle in Bosco at Bologna, the Pitti and the Boboli in Florence, the royal forest of San Hossore. with no end of Medicean villas on either side of the beautiful Valdarno. From the Bourbons of Naples they have received the Palazzo Reale, the park and casino cf Capodimonte, and then Caserta. Oil Aatroni. Quisisana. the forest of Persano, the palace of Palermo, etc. Fancy what it must cost to keep these valuable properties in proper repair! One-third of the "Lists Civile," or national endowment of the crown, is absorbed by this glorious but burdensome task. King Humbert has done his best to get rid of such places as stand lowest in the scale of artistic or historical interest. S. Mlchele in Bosco, for instance, has been turned into an "Orthopedic Institute;" the Palazzo Durale at Modena Into the Italian West Point; that of Parma into a smaller military college; the farm of Belladonna, near Rome, and the Villt Miraflori In Rome itself have been sold; yet what is left in his hands would be enough to satisfy the wants of all the European royal households MARGHERITA, QUEEN OF ITALY. put together. In the routine life of King Humbert and Queen Margherita there are two distinct yearly periods, the "state"' period, which is spent in Rome, from the opening of parliament, about the 15th of November, to its closing by the end of June; and the "home" period, which is passed mostly in the Villa Reale at Monza. This second period would fall within the range of the "royal holidays,' which are being described in the Companion, but alas! I am afraid that in the present state of Europe, in he face of so many social and political problems which claim solution, anxious care must harass the good king, even on the ice fields of the Gran Paradiso, or in th silent wilderness of the forests of Valdierl, and that the name of holidays must be taken only in a comparative sense, in opposi ion to city life. The long term of city or official life is made lighter to our sovereign: by their respective passion for sport and for music. The king Is very proud of his shooting grounds of Castel Porziano and Castel Fusano, to which he rides or drives about once a week. These two farms, adjoining each other, and enclosed all around either by a wall or by wire nettings, cover an area of about thirty thousand acres, and extend from the chain of hills of Deelmo to the seashore. Their oak and pine forests are stocked with wild boar, deer, stag and pheasants, while the downs along the coast afford excellent sport duriug the quail season. I think there is also a herd of fifty or sixty American elks, which are allowed to live and multiply unmolested. The gamekeepers and the other officers live near the castle, in a cozy little village, where there are an infirmary, an attending physician, a school, a church, and a small convent of Capuchin friars. The game shot by the king and by the gentlemen who are occasionally invited to take a share in the royal sport, is sent, as a rule, to hospitals, and charitable institutions. If may bo observed that the section of this farm now called Torre Paterno was once the property of Pliny the Younger, who describes It' minutely in the seventeenth epistle of the second book. Excavations carried on among the ruins of Pliny's Iaurent inum by Baron des Nero in 1777-78, and by Prince Siglsmondo Chigi in 1779-80.1ed to the discovery of twenty-six heads and busts, twelve statuas, columns, capitals, bas-reliefs,

! if

medals, precious marbles and two thousand pounds of lead. King Victor j Emmanuel made another search. In 1874, and laid bare the forum of the vllläge called Vicus Augustanus Laurentium, which Pliny mentions as adjoinlag his estate. In the center of the square stood the pedestal of a statue raised by the villagers to a local benefactor named elins Libe rails, who is j described as postmaster of the harbor of Rome, and superintendent of the Sect of post boats, for the official cor- j "espondence with the provinces beyond j

the sea. Queen Margherita's love for music is a great source of enjoyment, both to herself and to those whom she privileges with an invitation to the court special performances, foreigners are not aware of the fact that Rome is a great musical center in the modern, not in the old Italian, sense of the word. I he Royal Academy of Music, called Di Santa Cecilia, stands at the head of the movement, under the direct inspiration of the queen. The four leading orchestral performers have organized themselves into a "Quartette della Regina,' the queen's quartette. This quartette, at her special request, played for her every week during the winter of lS9ä the compositions of Beethoven, commencing with the productions of his early youth, and continuing on to his great symphonies. Every performance of Sgambati's Quintuor or Pinelli's Societa Orchestrale Romana is graced by the presence of her majesty. Whenever illustrious maestri accept the hospitality of the Royal Academy of Music and give a recital, v,e are sure to see Queen Margherita give the sign of applause from her seat, or from the balcony I was present at the Paderewski concerts, for instance, and it was evident that the queen was deriving exquisite pleasure from them. She did not try, to be sure, to check or to conceal her feelings in the Anglo-Saxon style. Paderewski was at once Invited to ronrt. and on his leaving Rome the insignia of knight commander of one of th royal orders were conferred on him by the minister of public instruction, who. by the way, is an enthusiastic musician himself. One thing I can not understand is why her majesty never leaves Rome for short excursions during the eight months of official life, but I think this seeming indifference to the points of attraction and curiosity around Rome is probably due to the HUMBERT. KING OF ITALY. queen's kindness of heart; she knows that the villagers and farmers of the Campagna could not be prevented from expressing in a more or less costly and elaborate form their feelings of loyalty; and she knows also that such excursions must be preceded, attended and followed by certain poiice precautions, which are not always calculated to foster the feeling oi freedom and deliverance from state life. A visit or a private presentation to Queen Margheri'a is a delightful experience, indeed. Arriving at the QuirInal palace at the hour named in your card, you are shown into a waitingroom, simply but tastefully ornamented with rare specimens of tapestries and china, and one of the gentlemen in waiting welcomes you. and converses with you until the door of her majesty's "Cabinet de Reception" is opened. This reception room strikes the visitor more for the magnificent view which it commands through its six great windows, opening on a terrace, than for any display of showy decoration. Dense masses of evergreens occupy the foreground, while the Janiculum and the Monte Mario shut the horizon beyond the roofs and the domes of the city, with St. Refers and the Vatican toweling between the two hills. As I have remarked in a previous paper, there is a certain fascination for thoughtful minds in gazing at these two palaces, the Qulrlnul and the Vatican, facing each other much more amiably than the respective situation of their tenants would lead us to believe. Perhaps it is one of the good characteristics of the Italian nation to make difficult positions bearable by mutual kindness and toleration. The queen speaks the four great European languages to perfection, and as she keeps herself an courant with modern literature and with the contents of the latest literary or scientific magazines, her conversation is delightfully easy and full of interest. No stranger of distinction leaves Rome without -arrying away with him an ideal remembrance of this lady, equally perfect as a wife, as a mother, as a queen. Italians do not make as much of Christmas as the Anglo-Saxons do. Until late years gifts were made or ecchanged at the Befania ( Epiphany Christmas eve being celebrated only by a family gathering and a souper malgre. But the queen follows and has made popular the An

glo-Saxon style, and the good old-fasU-ioned "Merry Christmas" is fast becoming a national institution. The Christmas tree at court is a welcome celebration to the members of the royal household, and to the ladies and gentlemen of the inner circle. The gifts consist mainly of admirable pieces of jewelry. The closing of th? parliamentary seamen at the end of .Tui or at the beginning of July is the signal for a general stampede from Rome. Tb court, the diplomatic body, senators and depulties, and even some of the ministers of state, not to speak of minor officials, emigrate en masse in the old-approved Roman fashion. It is not the degree of the heat that makes July. August and part of September very disagreeable In Rome, but its depressing quality. These niomhbring with them an almost complete cessation of public life. Sixty thousand persons left the capital in the summer of 1S9." for an average period of forty days. The king and queen's headquarters in summer are at Monza. thirteen miles north of Milan. Here they own a comfortable residence, surrounded by a park many leagues in circumference, crossed, watered and mnd" cool by the river Lnmbftj. I have had frequent occasions to converse with ladies and gentlemen who had Just enjoyed the royal hospitality at Monza. and they all concur in declaring that iheir majesties are just as amiable and fascinating in their intimate family life as they are admirable on the steps of the throne in the state rooms at the Quirinal.

RARE FAMILY REUNION. Meeting of Nine rliildren Whoe Combined A gen Were 598 Years. From the Toronto (Hobe: A family reunion quite beyond the ordinary was the leading event in the village of Vittoria. Norfolk county, on May 28 last. It took place at the old Hewitt honestead. Nine brothers and Bisters out of a family of eleven met together. The sixtieth birthday of the youngest of the party occurred on June 2. Their united ages amounted to 598 years. William Hewitt, the father, was the division court clerk of Norfolk for fortynine years. He passed away in his ninetieth year. The mother died in her seventy-eighth year. The grandparents were 106 and 104 years old at their death. With four sons these last arrived in Little York in 1S2. where they lived for some years. They removed to Norfolk about 1836. The names of the nine are as follows: William, who returned to Toronto in 1839, and spent over forty years in the hardware business; Thomas of Wakefield. Mass.; David of Toronto, George of Vittoria, the Misses Elizabeth. Sarah and Mary Hewitt, Mrs. John Palmer of Hamilton. Mrs. Joseph of Barrle. The whole nine attended divine service in the church where their parent worshiped. MIRACLE. E. P. Pope has recently had a miraculous escape from death in an Alaska canyon. Mr. Pope, whose home is at McLean, 111., was employed by United State? army officers as a packer for the government relief expedition. A few weeks ago, with a party of six soldiers from Baldes, he attempted to float down the Law River, a tributary of the Copper River, on a log raft. The next day they entered a box canyon. The raft was dashed to pieces in the rapids, but Pope succeeded in reaching the ledge on the right, which was only wide enough for a foothold. He remained in this perilous position for three days without food or sleep before he attempted to escape. Snatching some twigs from a clump of bushes that grew on the ledge he lashed them together with his suspenders, and with this frail support began the ascent of the cliff, (limbing a few feet, then balancing himself and hanging the ladder on projections above him. In a little more than an hour he had dragged himself to the top. His companions also escaped death by reaching the op E. F. POPS, posite bank of the stream, farther down. From Saut laga via London. A member of the house of commons who had two nephews who are engineers in the American navy is receiving from the fleets a correspondence which would awake the envy of many newspapers. Their descriptions illustrate the readiness and efficiency of the American navy. One of his correspondents relates that In one of the bombardments of Bforro Castle one of the guns of one of the American battleships was put out of action by a shell from the forts. Immediately all the chief engineers were summoned from the whole fleet by signal and were brought aboard the ship to give advice as to the gnu. They all looked at the gun and examined its damaged machinery, and the result of their combined wits was aar in half an hour tbe gun was back in action as souud as ever. London Chronicle.
